Mr. Arindam "India didn't have to 'fight' for its independence.It was a natural process following de-colonization,post world war II,guided by USA n UN,but we are deliberately taught the 'greatness' of our pre-independant leaders" These comments of yours show that You are not very clear about History of the country.Few of our pre-independence leaders were really great & weh had to indeed fight for our independence.If you might have read Churchill's impassioned plea not to losse India & Dicky Mountbatten's expressions of thought on India when he was Governor General of India you would have realised how much do they rued loosing Indian Colony.
